ugh.  Sorry if I sent a blank message by mistake - tired.

I guess I should add a "common-sense" statement to my earlier comments.  If
Omega REsearch released a version of TS recompiled specifically for Linux
then of course its possible - duh  :)

Oh, and those emulators I spoke of...just for those that don't know.  An
emulator will "fake" an application into thinking it's running on it's
natural operating system.  The emulator is compiled to run on a specific OS
such as Linux.  The emulator, in this example a windows 95 emulator, will
then run the application in question inside the emulator program.  Every
windows API call the application makes the emulator intercepts and handles
appropriately - typically converting it to the OS the computer is running
(ie LInux).  Because it is constantly translating these API calls it can
execute MUCH MUCH slower than a box running Windows 95.
